Thoughts of a TechnoWizard

Hiring is usually a terrible process for both applicants and employers. The process is unnecessarily obtuse and opaque, leaving so much room for bias, weak structure, and varying standards. In this entry, I share some simple but powerful ideas for what employers can do to make their process more transparent and enjoyable. 1) Share authentic videos about their culture and work. 2) Have employees share more information about their interests, actual activities, and contact details. 3) Record every single interview in order to standardize and scale their questions.

I am feeling very energized this morning! My new mic is on the way along with a number of other things that I order from the cosmic catalogue 😂😉. But seriously, I am working on my inner self and confidence so that I may better accomplish the goals I set out for myself. Gotta have fun with the process!!

As we venture beyond faith to find a better alternative to religion, we find this age-old idea of chakras. It is something that many cultures have explored since ancient times and it's still very relevant. However, with modern day knowledge, we are now able to understand the measurable truths in this idea as well. I hope to talk about these concepts from scientific standpoint and share my learnings as I discover them...

Part 2 of my thoughts after listening to Sam Harris talks about the insidious nature of algorithms built with ad business modes, the danger of religion and faith based thinking, and a better way to think about race, antiracism, and globalization.

Listening to Making Sense with Sam Harris for the first time has refined and inspired some great ideas in me. In this entry, I share some of my thoughts from listening to his podcasts. I talk about the concept of "strong ideas weakly held", how meritocracy is a myth (or worse), and the magnitude of systemic racism and how affirmative action is just the first step to rebalancing the scales.

Video games jumped into 3D immersion as soon as the technology allowed it, but web interfaces have stayed relatively the same since the 90s. In this entry, I share my thoughts on why the internet is not as immersive or interactive as games, and how Notion or similar tools can solve the bigger problem of human creativity.

In this entry, I just wanted to give some updates on my plans for growing this podcast. Please feel free to keep me accountable!

Love will be my competitive advantage. In this entry, I share my reasoning as to why I think loving every facet of your business will create a far better business than ever.

Downsizing (2017) was an interesting movie... But it was very surface level than what it could have been. In this entry, I talk about how awesome it would if a movie like this delved more into the various concepts it introduced, such as materialsism, classism, and global warming.

The Circle (2017) movie explored ideas about surveillance and 'full transparency' where knowledge is a human right, privacy is theft, and secrets are lies. In this entry, I discuss the deeper meaning of these ideas and think about how real life is a more nuanced conversation.
